The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) and Merck are sponsoring a second virtual meet-up on the topic of real world data (RWD). This second meet-up, a sequel to the first one held on October 4, 2018 (1st NISS-Merck meet-up on RWD), will focus on examples of using RWD.
RWD has become an important source for addressing medical and health related questions. Various types of RWD, such as claims, electronic health records, surveys, and digital data, provide great opportunities for successful partnerships between academia and business, industry, and government organizations. In this meet-up we will hear examples of how experts have examined the nature of RWD, have analyzed RWD, and have used findings from their research to answer important real-world questions.
This is also the sixth in a series of NISS - Merck sponsored virtual meetings. For more information and to review the presentations from previous meet-ups please see the news story NISS-Merck Meet-ups on a Roll!
Below are links to the slides. Speakers are listed below as well and a recording of the complete conversation.
